Come and play with us . . .

I mean really, your never too old to play dress up! Especially when it comes to Halloween!! So, this past weekend a couple friends, my sister and I (Erica) decided to do a Halloween photo shoot. Laugh. It all started one night during our regular Thursday night Grey’s Anatomy wine night — Okay, I am addicted to Grey’s . . . need I say more? — And we were discussing who was going to throw a Halloween party.  I — of course — have been DYING to have an adult dress up Halloween party. I mean, who wouldn’t! Right? So we were pondering all the things we COULD be . . . and WANTED to be . . . and then it clicked. Halloween Photo Shoot. Duh. Talk about best idea ever! And it was.

So we got out scrap paper to ‘jot’ down our ideas of what we were going to be . . .

1. Cowgirl / Country Scene / Boots

2. Wizard of Oz / Dorthy, Lion, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Witch

3. Masquerade / Mask

4. 80′s Theme

. . . after we all agreed on these four ideas, it was off to finding / brainstorming our ‘costumes’.  So after we rummaged thru our closets and one mall shopping trip later, we were ready to go! Except one thing . . . If I was going to be in the pictures, then who was going to take them? Sigh. Tomme was gone to her niece Amanda’s Birthday party (GREAT photo shoot by the way! We will be blogging Amanda’s birthday photos soon! She R-O-C-K-E-D her 14th Birthday!) And my sister’s friend who was going to ‘fill in my spot’ decided not to come. BUT, thank goodness our friends daughter, Gracie came along to be the Witch in the Wizard of Oz . . . because after a couple minutes of camera training and directions, Gracie quickly became our new photographer! Laugh. Nah, she did not photograph us all day. However, she did photograph several sets. I would set her up for the shot and after a few clicks, she would get the perfect one! And then, we did do a few with the camera timer. Laugh. Lots of running involved on that! My sister, Jess, had to do the running on those . . . I was stuck on a hill in 5 in heels for Dorthy. There was no way I would make it down the hill in time, much less, alive!

Needless to say, the day was AWESOME! I could not have asked for better lighting, more beautiful weather and the best girls to photograph! We all had a day / night to remember! Take a look at our ROCKIN’ Halloween photo shoot!

. . . Now, the only question is, Which Costume should we wear for the Halloween Party? Hmmm . . .

If you are interested to Come and Play with Us, let us know! We would love to set up a themed photo shoot with you!
